[Astronomy Ireland]June Lecture ONLINE now for Members All Around Ireland
Astronomy Ireland's JUNE PUBLIC LECTURE "Aliens, Where Are They?" given by Terry Moseley (IAA) is now available online at Astronomy Ireland's website: http://www.astronomy.ie/ Just click on "Lecture Webcasts" on the sidebar and then click on "June" Note: you can watch 10 other past lectures online also, just click any of the other months! July is the only one that will not work as it has been cleared out in anticipation of our next lecture "My Home-Built Observatory" by Kevin Sweeney an Astronomy Ireland member from Co. Meath who has built a simple yet effective observatory for his 10-inch telescope. Kevin's Lecture to Astronomy Ireland will take place at 8:00pm on Monday July 14th in the main lecture hall of the Henry Grattan Building in Dublin City University (see http://www.astronomy.ie/events.html and see the map of DCU at http://www.astronomy.ie/nextlecture.html). Mark you calendar/diary now! All welcome. APOLOGY: We had some problems with the sound at the start of Terry's lecture (about 7 minutes 15 seconds) in to the webcast that you will see. After 1 minute the sound comes back but there is a bit of crackling but after a while the sound settles down and is perfect until the end. Our apologies to Terry for that and to you, but the vast majority of his very interesting and stimulating talk is audible so please don't let this put you off, especially if you are a member of Astronomy Ireland who lives far from Dublin as this is one of the unique ways we have of reaching out to members all around the country. STAR-B-Q coming August 22: The July issue of our magazine Astronomy & Space should be with you in the post this week (if you are not already a member please subscribe here: http://www.astronomy.ie/subscribe.html and support our goal of promoting astronomy in Ireland). Included in the July issue is a booking form for the August Star-B-Q with a special offer to members until July 31st. Remember, the last 4 Star-B-Qs have been sold out by the end of the members' offer so don't leave it too late and book as soon as the form drops through your letterbox - don't let that 48 page full colour magazine distract you too much! ===== David Moore BSc FRAS, Chairman, Astronomy Ireland, P.O.Box 2888, Dublin 5.
